As I said it was the second time for me. It seems like this is the new thing. Maybe I should be more of a hardazz next time.

Peace

Try this it works for me when they want to discuss plays that happened earler in the game. I only deal in current events I'm not a history teacher.

I am having more of a problem with their actions not mine. I have no problem what I said to them or how I reacted to them. I was just wondering is this becoming an epidemic or acceptable practice across the country. As I said before, both situations the coaches did not come back and honestly I do not care what they think of me.

Peace

To me, this is appearing to be unapproachable. Thus, when they come out on a legitimate reason, they may not come out in a calm manner. They already have the impression that you will not be reasonable or will be a smart a$$ so why should they. This kind of attitude causes animosity towards you and all other umpires which follow. Now, none of us can have a good game b/c we have to wonder what the "jerk" umpire (as they will be referred to by the coach when he wants to tell us about him) has done to affect my game. And, if you think it doesn't affect the games to follow, you are sadly mistaken.

Again, I have no problem with them coming between innings. They are not holding up the game and are not making a scene. No one knows why they are out there. So, why do something which may trigger a scene? Simply answer the question and move on. No other remarks are warranted.

Rut I would do just what you did by telling them that it would be better to come out when the play happens. However I would not use the words "I would have more respect for you if..."
